The Faculty Assembly is a representative body of the faculty within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The Faculty Assembly meets almost every month during the academic year to deliberate and act on major policy questions, often referred to it by the College Executive Committee or by the Educational Policy Committee.
The Assembly also functions as an forum for discussion on issues of importance to the faculty and to the College or University.
